At AMAST, we believe that effective solutions can only come from working together.
We actively engage with the community across the agrifood sectors through various channels and activities.
Our network includes farmers and farming organisations, food producers and processors, retailers, veterinarians, researchers, public health professionals, and policymakers.
Each brings unique insights and expertise to our work. We will also engage with consumer groups and environmental organisations to ensure we consider all perspectives in addressing AMR.
We have three core aims:
CREATE: Building a Transdisciplinary Community
HARNESS: Understanding Challenges and Opportunities
PREPARE: Developing New Solutions
